The main decision is determining the group size to report on for scores, and whether the group size for comments should be larger or not.

A small group size means it will be easier to see data for small groups, such as a Manager with only 3 people in their team.

However small reporting groups minimums may mean participants feel more vulnerable, and could be worried that they can't answer the survey questions honestly. They may be fearful of being identified and suffering repercussions from their honest feedback.

The group size for comments can be different from the group size for scores, as some people may feel it is easier to identify a person's comment in a small group due to the language they use.

By default, we suggest 5 for both scores and comments is a good balance of being small enough to see data for most groups, but large enough to disguise any individual's response.
